SOCIALS at 'k -k The cadets also swayed to rhythm at three formal dances which were held, the first being our Homecoming dance in which the alumni were able to present themselves in tuxes. The Military Ball, a production of the Parent-Alumni Association, gave the cadets a chance to back up their bragging of the sharp girl friend they had back home. The Commencement dance, better known as the Farewell Ball, ulti- mates the social activities of the cadets and serves as the senior prom. 'lr f f t if -nr E ff I qw Z' Eighty-seven

The majority of these occasions were beautified by the young Misses of Saint Katherine's School for Girls in Davenport, Iowa. Our socials with Saint Katherine's started in the fall when the cadets invited the girls to one of our football games which was followed by a dinner- dance. This invitation was promptly returned by the damsels of Saint Katherineis by a dinner and dance held at Davenport. The girls in Aledo also did much to brighten the lives of the cadets by honoring us with their attendance at numerous informal dances held at the academy. The high-light of these occasions was the Rough Rider Romp which was sponsored by the journalism class. Eighrylsix
